Eastwood Neighborhood
Eastwood is one of the few neighborhoods on James Island located right on the Charleston Harbor and backs up to the 23 acres of the former May Forest Convent, so it feels very nestled into the island. It is a more established neighborhood with homes built from the 50s all the way through to the 90s. Being only 5 minutes from downtown Charleston and 10 minutes from the beach, its location is prime.
Because the homes in Eastwood were built over such an extended period, one can find a wide range of home styles.
People are drawn to this neighborhood for a number of reasons; location, mature landscaping, high-ranking schools, walking trails, and a community park on the harbor. Melton Peter Demetre Park (sometimes called Sunrise Park) is just minutes away with a fishing pier, kayak dock, two sandy riverfront beaches, and some of the best harbor views.
